New home net sales in Southern Nevada may be giving in to seasonal trends for the first time in a while.
As December begins, the new home market is performing differently than it has since the pandemic began. That is to say, it's looking pretty... normal. The season trend of steadily decreasing activity has showed itself in 2021 after Q4 of 2020 was playing catch up for the action missed during the traditional spring selling season.
